✨New! Turn Leftover Rice into a Real Meal


Hi there Reader --

Today I’m sharing Rice Okonomiyaki, a savory pancake made with leftover rice. It’s easier than regular okonomiyaki (made with flour and cabbage), really satisfying, and something kids love too.

If you have leftover rice, this is a simple and delicious way to turn it into a real meal. I hope you give it a try!
